Stjepan Tomas: "Today we played badly"
Head coach of FC Sheriff Stjepan Tomas about the match of the fifth tour of the Super League against FC Petrocub:
- Today we played badly. It's a pity. I made a mistake that I gave a rest to many players of the main squad. I expected that today the players who took the field would show a good game. Now I think that a lot will change, and the main team will play for the most part.
- Are you not afraid to play with the main team on several fronts, will the players survive?
- I think they will. There were four days to recover. Players who played 120 minutes were ready today. There were thoughts that someone might get injured, I did not take risks, but was mistaken. It was possible to put 6-7 players from the main team and substitute when it would be difficult.
- Did any of the substitute players live up to expectations today?
- Today, no one lived up to expectations. In the game that we showed, no one justified.
- Considering that you are dissatisfied, do you have an understanding of what the line-up will be in Cyprus?
- Let's see. One new player arrived today, a forward. Let's see what condition he's in. The most important thing now is the game in the Championship. Whoever shows himself there will play in Europe.
- Before the draw, you wanted an Italian team...
- Yes it is. But Manchester United is a top team. There will be good games. We need to start playing well from the very beginning with the match against Omonia.
